Thought I would document this in real time.  The ABC News with Charles Gibson gave a 6 minute 13 second segment to Sen. Obama covering his mideast trip as well as an interview with Gibson.  Sen. McCain was given 2 minutes 49 seconds for an interview with some no-name reporter. That comes to 2.2 as much time for Obama as for McCain. 

To give credit where it's due, Gibson did put Obama through a pretty hard-hitting interview insinuating that he had made a rookie mistake in his speech before AIPAC where he said Jerusalm must remain the undivided capital of Israel.  Gibson asked him if he didn't realize that would be highly offensive to much of the Arab world.  He knocked Obama off his balance a couple of times. 

The interview with McCain started off pretty hostile, then the reporter backed off a bit towards the end.  

7/24/08:   ABC covered Obama's speech in Germany for 5 minutes 30 seconds, and it devoted an entire 1 minute and 2 seconds to the McCain campaign.  For anyone who's counting, that's five times more exposure for Obama on this newscast. 

I should point out that a record of two or three newscasts does not make for a full picture of what ABC News is doing.  They may well devote most of next week to McCain for all I know.  But for now they're leaning heavily in favor of Obama.  Personally, if I ran a news organization I wouldn't let either candidate "steal" a whole week's worth of coverage without giving equal time each and every night to the other candidate.
